And the Winner Is... is the second album by the American hip hop musician Chubb Rock, released in 1989.[2][3] As on Chubb's debut, producer Howie Tee is credited on the album cover.[4]

The album made the top 30 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums. "Ya Bad Chubbs" was a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart, and an early video hit for Yo! MTV Raps.[5] The single peaked at No. 89 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]

Production

[edit | edit source]

The album was produced by Howie Tee.[7] "And the Winner Is...(The Grammys)" is a response to the decision by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to present the Grammy Award for best rap album before the televised broadcast of the show.[8] Chubb had started composing a version of the track prior to the introduction of the new award category.[9] Barry White appears on the title track.[10][11]

The Orange County Register deemed And the Winner Is... full of "one dimensional but humorous boasts."[15]

AllMusic thought that the album "featured sharp humor with first-rate samples and production, plus insightful commentary on ghetto violence and the ignorance of the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences)."[12] MusicHound R&B: The Essential Album Guide called it Chubb's best, writing that it contains "deft production work and some insightful social commentaries that are leavened by Chubb's humorous streak."[14]
